Reports from Sky Sport Italia claim that Cesc Fabregas and Como have turned down a €40m offer from Tottenham Hotspur for Nico Paz, who is still inked to Real Madrid buy a 50% sell-on clause and a series of bargain buy-back options.
Reports Como have rejected significant Tottenham offer for Nico Paz
Paz, one of the brightest breakout stars of the 2024-25 Serie A season, has been linked with a number of Europe’s top clubs this summer, including with a return to Real Madrid and a move to join Inter earlier this summer.
Now, according to Sky Sport Italia, Tottenham have submitted a €40m proposal to Como for the Argentine talent, which has been firmly rejected.
According to Thursday’s report, it will take an offer in the region of €70m to convince Como into selling the 20-year-old attacker, who is considered one of the brightest prospects in Europe.
Sky adds that an offer in the region of €60m might be enough to convince Como into negotiating.
Tottenham’s reported bid comes after the departure of long-standing fan-favourite Heung-min Son, who has left the club after 10 years to join LAFC in MLS. Reports on Thursday also confirm that attacking midfielder James Maddison will miss a significant chunk of the 2025-26 season with a cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
Como, meanwhile, have been working on a deal to remove Real Madrid’s buy-back options for Nico Paz.
Los Blancos are able to pinch the 20-year-old back for a bargain fee of just €9m until June 30, 2026, and for €10m the following year. As things stand, Real Madrid also have a 50% sell-on clause, which means that Como would have only received €20m had the €40m offer from Tottenham been accepted.
